The bill amends the Unemployment Compensation Law of Pennsylvania, specifically addressing the conditions under which an employee may be deemed ineligible for unemployment compensation. Key changes include the removal of a provision that previously exempted employees from ineligibility during a work stoppage due to a labor dispute. Instead, the bill introduces new language stating that an employee who is unemployed, either in whole or in part, due to a work stoppage shall not be considered to have voluntarily left work. This aims to clarify the circumstances under which employees can claim benefits during labor disputes.

Additionally, the bill outlines several scenarios where employees will not be disqualified from receiving benefits for voluntarily leaving work. These include leaving work to accept a layoff under a labor-management contract, entering approved training, or relocating with a spouse in the military. The definition of "suitable employment" is also refined to ensure that it aligns with the claimant's past employment and wage standards. Overall, the amendments seek to provide clearer guidelines for eligibility and protect workers' rights in various employment situations.
